cascade river state park

easy, well marked and lots of trails. Wide variety of trails, easy hiling, snow shoeing, cross country.

Lovely view of the Lake and state park when you hike up. The falls were beautiful but had blocks of ice still on the sides!

It just doesn't get any better than this. Peaceful, wooded, bliss with the river running through it.

Loved easy hike to falls and cascades. Fall colors added to the beauty of this park. Wished we would have had more time to hike further into the park.

This park has excellent trails next to the roaring Cascade River. It is especially scenic in the first 30 minutes, but all the trails are well maintained.

We took a chance to make a hiking trip on the North Shore in late October and it was spectacular. The fall colors were faded but the scenery at Cascade River State Park and surrounding area were awe-inspiring! The trails are perfectly marked so as to always know where you are and which trail you'd like to hike. Obviously the hiking along the Superior Hiking Trail next to the river and falls is priceless.

We always love hiking up these trails to view the river and all the falls! The walking bridges, the woodland plants, the tree varieties, are enjoyable to see. We would be very careful if children are along but it was reasonable for the older people in our group.

We enjoyed hiking the trails and viewing the beautiful waterfalls. We especially enjoyed how they looked like foamy rootbeer spilling over. Beautiful scenery!

Easy access and well--placed near the river. I walked in from Cascade lodge. Found a cool sheltered camping spot on Lookout Mountain which would be perfect. Even had a bear-proof locker.

We hiked the trail up to the falls. It was a beautiful September day, and the deep rocky gorge, views of the waterfalls were breath taking!

A must see is the waterfall, but if you like to hike, take the hiking club trail. When you get to the top, the view is spectacular. Like most of the north shore state parks, the trails are not smooth and wide, but beautiful.

Cascade River State Park is an amazing getaway. The sights here are once in a lifetime. When I came through on a Saturday there was a wedding underway right by the main cascading waterfalls. Seems like a great place to tie the knot. The trails were as challenging as any trails I have ever hiked in Minnesota. The trail up to Lookout Mountain is no joke. But it is well worth the trek for the views from up there. From Lookout Mountain you have commanding views of Lake Superior and the Sawtooth Mountains. This is one of the best State Parks in MN. The cascade falls were super great to be able to see. The whole river canyon in the area is beautiful and a sight to behold. Make the trip and experience it for yourself.

Great place for a hike. Beware of people smoking on the trail (?) but other than that, fantastic. Nice park staff.

I stayed here to go to to the washroom, it was a great park. It was clean, looked after and well maintained. Of course the waterfalls are the main attraction here. If I come again I will definitely spend more time here and hike the trails.

Peaceful spot to hang out and watch the river flow. Nice hiking to the quieter parts of the river or choose to swim in Lake Superior.
